Balanoposthitis is commonly seen in cases of excessive foreskin and is usually caused by fungal infections. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital urology department for follow-up to confirm whether it is balanoposthitis. Iodophor immersion of the penis can be combined with the external application of compound miconazole ointment for treatment. The condition of balanoposthitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to promptly seek treatment at a professional and formal hospital for diagnosis. Treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results.
